Easy there, I would have come down with a jerry can of fuel if asked :D

I'll try and keep fuel hose on tap for future emergencies ;)

1/4 tank in 40km is harsh.

Yeh my old skyline did that a couple of times. U'd be driving down the freeway and watch the fuel guage visibly dropping:eek:

The key is to have a swiss army knife then just cut off the split end and push it back on. The only problem with this tecnique is that after the third time u run out of hose to cut:D

Just plain running out of fuel is embarrasing cause its something that can be easily avoided.

So Skyzer did u get a new hose or just patch the one u got? u could always blame the mechanic:D

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
